Studies on feeding behaviour of Araneid spiders from India were available with Tikader (1961, 1982), Kumar et al. (1977), published a note on dragonflies caught in spider web. Recently Majumder (2001), Talukdar and Majumder (2006, 2007 and 2008), Majumder and Talukdar (2006) and Talukdar (2008) did some interesting observation on food and feeding behaviour of four Araneid species of the genus Argiope and Neoscona belong to family Araneidae, genus Leucauge belongs to family Tetragnthidae and genus Pholcus belongs to family Pholsidae from West Bengal.
